Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery

hadith 22

Hadith.4988 - Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad narrated from Abd Al-Ṣamad ibn Bashir from Sulayman ibn Hilal who said

One of our companions asked Abu Abdullah (as), saying: "May I be your ransom, what is the ruling on a man sleeping with another man under one blanket?" Imam (as) asked: "Is he a close relative (mahram)?" The man replied: "No." Imam (as) asked: "Is it due to necessity?" The man said: "No." Imam (as) said: "They are each to be lashed thirty lashes." The man asked: "What if the act was committed?" Imam (as) replied: "If it was less than penetration, then the prescribed punishment (hadd) applies. But if penetration occurred, he is to be made to stand and struck with the sword, and the sword will take from him whatever it takes." The man asked: "So, that is execution?" Imam (as) replied: "That is correct." The man then asked: "And what if a woman sleeps with another woman under one blanket?" Imam (as) asked: "Is she a close relative (mahram)?" The man replied: "No." Imam (as) asked: "Is it due to necessity?" The man replied: "No." Imam (as) said: "They are each to be lashed thirty lashes." The man further asked: "And if they committed the act?" This greatly distressed Imam (as), and Imam (as) said: "Uff! Uff! Uff!" (three times), then said: "The prescribed punishment (hadd) applies."

I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say: "The companions of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said to Saʿd ibn Ubadah, 'What would you do if you found a man with your wife?' He (Sa'd) replied: 'I would strike him with the sword.' Then the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) came out and said: 'What is this, O' Saʿd?' Saʿd said: 'They asked me what I would do if I found a man with my wife, and I said I would strike him with the sword.' The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'O' Saʿd, but what about the requirement of four witnesses?' Saʿd replied: 'O' Messenger of Allah (swt), even after seeing it with my own eyes and knowing, as Allah (swt) knows, that it has happened?' The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'Yes, by Allah (swt), even after you see it with your own eyes and Allah (swt) knows it has happened, because Allah (swt), the Glorious and Exalted, has set limits for everything, and for whoever transgresses these limits, Allah (swt) has also prescribed a punishment.'"

4992 - وَ رَوَى فَضَالَةُ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ قَالَ

"The punishment of stoning becomes obligatory upon him. However, if two men and four women testify against him, their testimony is not accepted, and he is not stoned, but rather he is subjected to the prescribed punishment for a fornicator."

4993 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ

أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُحْصَنٍ فَجَرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَشَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثَةُ رِجَالٍ وَ اِمْرَأَتَانِ قَالَ "وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلرَّجْمُ فَإِنْ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلاَنِ وَ أَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ فَلاَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَ لاَ يُرْجَمُ وَ لَكِنْ يُضْرَبُ اَلْحَدَّ حَدَّ اَلزَّانِي".

Imam (as) then said: 'If I knew that you were aware (that she was already married), I would have crushed your head with stones.'"

4994 - وَ رَوَى شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "قَضَى عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةَ رَجُلٍ أَنَّهُ رَجَمَ اَلْمَرْأَةَ وَ ضَرَبَ اَلرَّجُلَ اَلْحَدَّ وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ عَلِمْتَ لَفَضَخْتُ رَأْسَكَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ" ".

Hadith.4995 - The Commander of the Faithful (as) brought out Shuraha Al-Hamdaniyyah, and the crowd became so dense that people were almost killing one another due to the overcrowding. When Imam (as) saw this, Imam (as) ordered her to be taken back until the crowd dispersed. Then she was brought out again, and the gate was closed. Imam (as) said: "They stoned her until she died." Afterward, Imam (as) commanded that the gate be opened, and whoever entered began cursing her. When Imam (as) observed this, Imam (as) called out through his announcer, "O' people! Restrain your tongues from her, for no punishment is carried out except that it serves as atonement for that sin, just as a debt is repaid by a debt."

4995 - : وَ خَرَجَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِشُرَاحَةَ اَلْهَمْدَانِيَّةِ فَكَادَ اَلنَّاسُ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً مِنَ اَلزِّحَامِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ بِرَدِّهَا حَتَّى خَفَّتِ اَلزَّحْمَةُ ثُمَّ أُخْرِجَتْ وَ أُغْلِقَ اَلْبَابُ قَالَ "فَرَمَوْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ" ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالْبَابِ فَفُتِحَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ مَنْ دَخَلَ يَلْعَنُهَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ نَادَى مُنَادِيهِ "أَيُّهَا اَلنَّاسُ اِرْفَعُوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ عَنْهَا فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُقَامُ حَدٌّ إِلاَّ كَانَ كَفَّارَةَ ذَلِكَ اَلذَّنْبِ كَمَا يُجْزَى اَلدَّيْنُ بِالدَّيْنِ".

4996 - وَ رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ : "إِذَا زَنَى اَلرَّجُلُ فَجُلِدَ فَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَنْفِيَهُ مِنَ اَلْأَرْضِ اَلَّتِي جُلِدَ فِيهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا وَ إِنَّمَا عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ مِنَ اَلْمِصْرِ اَلَّذِي جُلِدَ فِيهِ".

"The boy is to be beaten with lashes but not subjected to the full prescribed punishment (hadd), whereas the woman is to be given the full hadd punishment." I asked: "What if she was married (muhsanah)?" Imam (as) replied: "She is not to be stoned because the one who had intercourse with her is not mature. However, if he had been mature, she would have been stoned."

I then asked: "What if a young girl who has not reached puberty was found with a man committing fornication with her?" Imam (as) replied: "The girl is to be beaten but not given the full hadd punishment, and the hadd punishment is to be carried out on the man."

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي آخِرِ مَا لَقِيتُهُ عَنْ غُلاَمٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغِ اَلْحُلُمَ وَقَعَ عَلَى اِمْرَأَةٍ أَوْ فَجَرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يُصْنَعُ بِهِمَا قَالَ "يُضْرَبُ اَلْغُلاَمُ دُونَ اَلْحَدِّ وَ يُقَامُ عَلَى اَلْمَرْأَةِ اَلْحَدُّ" فَقُلْتُ جَارِيَةٌ لَمْ تَبْلُغْ وُجِدَتْ مَعَ رَجُلٍ يَفْجُرُ بِهَا قَالَ "تُضْرَبُ اَلْجَارِيَةُ دُونَ اَلْحَدِّ وَ يُقَامُ عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْحَدُّ".

hadith 41

Hadith.5007 - Narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Hanan ibn Sadir who said

Indeed, Abbad Al-Makki said that Sufyan Al-Thawri told me, "I see that you have a close relationship with Abu Abdullah (as), so ask Imam (as) about a man who committed adultery while he is ill. If the prescribed punishment (hadd) is carried out on him, they fear he might die. What is your opinion on this matter?" So I asked Imam (as), and Imam (as) said to me: "Is this question from yourself, or did someone instruct you to ask about it?" I replied: "Sufyan Al-Thawri ordered me to ask you about it." Imam (as) said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was brought a man who was obese, his stomach was swollen, and the veins of his thighs were visible, and he had committed adultery with a sick woman. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanded that a palm branch with one hundred stalks be brought, and he struck him with it once and struck her with it once, and then he set them both free. This is in accordance with the saying of Allah (swt) Almighty: 'And take in your hand a bundle of thin grass and strike with it, and do not break your oath'." (Surah Sad 38:44)

However, if he commits adultery with different women in the same day or even in the same hour, then for each woman he has violated, a separate punishment (hadd) applies."

5015 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ

hadith 50

Hadith.5016 - Yunus ibn Ya'qub narrated from Abu Maryam, who narrated from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that

a woman came to Commander of the Faithful (as) and said: "I have committed adultery." Imam (as) turned his face away from her. She moved to face Imam (as) again and repeated: "I have committed adultery," but Imam (as) turned away once more. She repeated it a third and then a fourth time. After the fourth confession, Imam (as) ordered that she be detained. It was discovered that she was pregnant, so Imam (as) waited until she gave birth. Afterward, Imam (as) commanded that a pit be dug for her in the open space of Rahbah. Imam (as) dressed her in a new garment and placed her into the pit up to her waist and chest level. Imam (as) then closed the gate of Rahbah and threw a stone at her, saying, "In the name of Allah (swt). O' Allah (swt), in confirmation of Your Book and the Sunnah of Your Prophet." Then Imam (as) instructed Qanbar to throw a stone at her. Afterward, Imam (as) returned to his house and said: "O' Qanbar, permit the companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) to enter." They entered and began stoning her, each throwing a stone. When they were unsure whether to reuse the same stones or throw new ones while she was still alive, they said: "O' Qanbar, inform him that we have stoned her with our stones, but she is still alive. What should we do?" Imam (as) replied: "Return to your stones," and they continued until she died. They asked: "She has now died, what should we do with her?" Imam (as) said: "Hand her over to her family and instruct them to treat her as they would their deceased."

hadith 51

Hadith.5017 - Sa'd ibn Tarif narrated from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubata who said

A man came to Commander of the Faithful (as) and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I have committed adultery, so purify me." Commander of the Faithful (as) turned his face away from him and then said to him: "Sit down." Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) turned to the people and said: "Is it beyond any of you, if he commits such a sin, to conceal it upon himself as Allah (swt) has concealed it for him?" The man stood up again and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I have committed adultery, so purify me." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked him: "What led you to say what you have said?" He replied: "The desire for purification." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "And what purification is better than repentance?" Then Imam (as) turned back to his companions, engaging them in conversation. Yet again, the man stood up and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I have committed adultery, so purify me." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked him: "Do you recite anything from the Qur'an?" He replied: "Yes." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Recite." So the man recited and did so correctly. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked him: "Do you know what obligations are upon you from the rights of Allah (swt), the Exalted, in your prayers and zakat?" The man answered: "Yes." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) questioned him and the man answered correctly. Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked: "Do you suffer from any illness, or do you feel pain in your head, or any ailment in your body, or any distress in your chest?" The man replied: "O' Commander of the Faithful, no (I am not ill or distressed)." Imam Ali (as) said: "Woe to you! Go until we inquire about you privately as we questioned you publicly. If you do not return to us, we will not pursue you." It is narrated that Imam Ali (as) inquired about the man and was informed that he was in sound condition and that there was nothing about him that raised suspicion. However, the man returned and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I have committed adultery, so purify me." Imam Ali (as) responded, "Had you not come to us, we would not have sought you out. But now, we cannot abandon you as Allah's (swt) ruling upon you has become binding." Then Imam (as) addressed the people, saying: "O' people, it is sufficient for those present among you to carry out the stoning on behalf of those who are absent. I urge anyone among you who will be present tomorrow to cover his face with his turban so that none of you recognize the others. Come to me before dawn so that none of you look at one another, for we do not wish to look into the face of a man while we are stoning him with stones." The people came as instructed before the break of dawn. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) addressed them again, saying: "I urge anyone among you, for the sake of Allah (swt), who has a right like this upon himself to carry it out for Allah (swt). For no one truly upholds Allah's (swt) right except that Allah (swt) will hold him accountable with the same." After that, some people departed, and by Allah (swt), no one knew who they were until that moment. Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) himself threw four stones at the man, and the people followed by stoning him.

hadith 52

Hadith.5018 - A woman came to the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I have committed adultery, so purify me. May Allah (swt) purify you, for the punishment in this world is lighter than the punishment in the Hereafter, which never ends." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked her: "From what should I purify you?" She replied: "From adultery." Imam (as) then asked: "Are you a married woman or not?" She said: "I am married." Imam (as) asked: "Was your husband present or absent?" She replied: "He was present." Imam (as) said: "Wait until you give birth to what is in your womb, then come to me." As she turned away and could no longer hear him, Imam (as) said: "O' Allah (swt), this is one testimony." Not long after, she returned and said: "I have given birth. Purify me." Imam (as) feigned ignorance and said: "Purify you from what, O' servant of Allah (swt)?" She replied: "I have committed adultery and have given birth, so purify me." Imam (as) asked her again, "Were you married when you did what you did or not?" She said: "Yes, I was married." Imam (as) asked: "Was your husband absent or present?" She answered: "He was present." Imam (as) said: "Go and nurse your child." As she turned away and could no longer hear him, Imam (as) said: "O' Allah (swt), these are two testimonies." After she had nursed her child, the woman returned to the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I have committed adultery, so purify me." Imam (as) asked her: "Were you married when you did what you did or not?" She replied: "Yes, I was married." Imam (as) asked: "Was your husband present or absent?" She answered, "He was present." Imam (as) said: "Go and care for your child until he becomes aware enough to eat, drink, not fall from a roof, and not stumble into a well." The woman turned away weeping, and when she was far enough not to hear him, Imam Ali (as) said

"O' Allah (swt), this is the third testimony." As she was crying, Amr ibn Hurayth met her and asked: "Why are you crying?" She replied: "I went to the Commander of the Faithful (as) and asked him to purify me, but he told me to care for my child until he eats, drinks, does not fall from a roof, and does not stumble into a well. I am afraid that death will come to me before I am purified." Amr ibn Hurayth said to her: "Return, for I will take responsibility for your child." She returned to Imam Ali (as) and informed him of Amr's offer. Imam Ali (as) asked her: "Why would Amr take responsibility for your child?" She said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I have committed adultery, so purify me." Imam (as) asked: "Were you married when you committed this act?" She replied: "Yes." Imam (as) then asked: "Was your husband present or absent?" She replied: "He was present." At this, the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), raised his head toward the sky and said: "O' Allah (swt), I have confirmed this against her with four testimonies. And You (swt) have said to Your Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) regarding Your (swt) religion: 'O' Muhammad (sw), whoever abandons one of My (swt) prescribed punishments has opposed Me (swt) and contended with Me (swt) in My (swt) dominion'. 'O' Allah (swt), I do not abandon Your (swt) punishments, nor do I seek to oppose You (swt) or contend with You (swt). I do not neglect Your (swt) rulings but rather obey You (swt) and follow the Sunnah of Your (swt) Prophet." Amr ibn Hurayth then said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, I only offered to take responsibility for her child because I thought you would like that. But if you dislike it, I will not do it." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) responded: "After four testimonies by Allah (swt), you will indeed take responsibility for him, and you will do so in humility." Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) stood up, ascended the pulpit, and said: "O' Qanbar, call out among the people that the prayer is gathering." The people gathered until the mosque was full. Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "O' people, your Imam will go out with this woman at noon to carry out the prescribed punishment upon her, God willing." Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) descended from the pulpit. When the morning came, Imam (as) went out with the woman, and the people followed, disguised and veiled with their turbans, holding stones in their hands, hidden in their cloaks and sleeves. They proceeded until they reached the open area (Al-Zuhr). Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) ordered a pit to be dug for her, and she was buried in it up to her waist. Imam (as) then mounted his mule, placed his foot firmly in the stirrup, put his index fingers into his ears, and called out in a loud voice: "O' people! Verily, Allah (swt) the Blessed and Exalted entrusted His Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) with a trust, and His Prophet (sw) entrusted me that none should carry out the prescribed punishment except one upon whom there is no prescribed punishment from Allah (swt). Therefore, whoever among you has a punishment upon him from Allah (swt) like the punishment upon her, let him not execute the punishment upon her." Upon hearing this, all the people left that day, except for the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and Imam Hasan ibn Ali (as) and Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as). They alone carried out the prescribed punishment upon her, and none of the people remained with them.

hadith 53

Hadith.5019 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: A man came to Isa (as) (Jesus), the son of Mariyum (as) (Mary), and said: "O' Spirit of Allah (swt), I have committed adultery, so purify me." Isa (as) ordered a public announcement to be made: "Let no one remain behind; everyone must come out for the purification of this man." When the people had gathered and the man stood in the pit, the man called out, "Let no one execute the punishment upon me except one who has no prescribed punishment from Allah (swt) upon him." Upon hearing this, all the people dispersed, leaving only Prophet Yahya (as) and Prophet Isa (as). Yahya (as) approached the man and said: "O' sinner, advise me." The man replied: "Do not leave your soul alone with its desires, lest it destroys you." Yahya (as) said: "Give me more advice." The man said: "Do not shame a sinner for his sin." Yahya (as) asked: "Give me more advice." The man said: "Do not become angry." Yahya (as) responded, "That is enough for me."

5019 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِنَّ رَجُلاً جَاءَ إِلَى عِيسَى اِبْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رُوحَ اَللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَطَهِّرْنِي فَأَمَرَ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنْ يُنَادَى فِي اَلنَّاسِ لاَ يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ خَرَجَ لِتَطْهِيرِ فُلاَنٍ فَلَمَّا اِجْتَمَعَ وَ اِجْتَمَعُوا وَ صَارَ اَلرَّجُلُ فِي اَلْحُفْرَةِ نَادَى اَلرَّجُلُ لاَ يَحُدَّنِي مَنْ لِلَّهِ فِي جَنْبِهِ حَدٌّ فَانْصَرَفَ اَلنَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ إِلاَّ يَحْيَى وَ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ يَحْيَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا مُذْنِبُ عِظْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ لاَ تُخَلِّيَنَّ بَيْنَ نَفْسِكَ وَ بَيْنَ هَوَاهَا فَتُرْدِيَكَ قَالَ زِدْنِي قَالَ لاَ تُعَيِّرَنَّ خَاطِئاً بِخَطِيئَةٍ قَالَ زِدْنِي قَالَ لاَ تَغْضَبْ قَالَ حَسْبِي".

hadith 54

Hadith.5020 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a person sentenced to stoning who attempts to flee. Imam (as) replied: "If the person confessed to the crime himself, he should not be brought back. However, if witnesses testified against him, he must be returned." It has also been narrated: "If the person had already been struck and felt the pain of the stones, he should not be brought back. But if he had not yet felt the pain of the stones, he should be returned."

5020 - وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنِ اَلْمَرْجُومِ يَفِرُّ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ أَقَرَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلاَ يُرَدُّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلشُّهُودُ يُرَدُّ". وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ

"أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَصَابَهُ أَلَمُ اَلْحِجَارَةِ فَلاَ يُرَدُّ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَهُ أَلَمُ اَلْحِجَارَةِ رُدَّ".

hadith 55

Hadith.5021 - In the narration from Al-Sakuni, it is reported that three individuals testified against a man for committing adultery. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked: "

Where is the fourth witness?" They replied: "He is coming now." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) then said: "Administer the punishment to them, for there is no delay in enforcing legal punishments."

5021 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ : "أَنَّ ثَلاَثَةً شَهِدُوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِالزِّنَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَيْنَ اَلرَّابِعُ" فَقَالُوا اَلْآنَ يَجِيءُ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "حُدُّوهُمْ فَلَيْسَ فِي اَلْحُدُودِ نَظَرُ سَاعَةٍ" ".

hadith 56

Hadith.5022 - Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Ismail ibn Jabir, who reports by Abu Abdullah (as).

I asked Imam (as): "May Allah (swt) have mercy on you, who is considered Muhsan?" Imam (as) replied: "Whoever has lawful access to a spouse in the morning and evening, he is Muhsan."

5022 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ

hadith 57

Hadith.5023 - In the narration of Wahb ibn Wahb from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from his forefathers (peace be upon them), it is reported that: Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was brought a man who had intercourse with his wife's bondwoman, and she became pregnant. The man claimed: "She (the wife) gifted her to me," but the woman (wife) denied it. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said

"Either you bring me witnesses, or I will stone you with stones." When the woman saw this, she confessed, so Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) carried out the prescribed punishment (Hadd) on her.

5023 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ وَهْبِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ وَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ فَحَمَلَتْ فَقَالَ

hadith 58

Hadith.5025 - In the narration of Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Sa'id, it is reported that

a woman came to Umar and said: "O' (political) Commander of the Faithful, I have committed fornication, so establish upon me the punishment of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic." Umar ordered that she be stoned. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), the (divinely appointed) Commander of the Faithful, was present and said: "Ask her how she committed fornication." So they asked her, and she said: "I was in a desolate area of the land, and I was overtaken by severe thirst. Then, I saw a tent in the distance, so I went toward it and found an Arab man inside. I asked him for water, but he refused to give me any unless I allowed him access to myself. I turned away from him and fled, but my thirst intensified until my eyes sank in, and my tongue became dry. When the thirst overwhelmed me, I returned to him, and he gave me water to drink and then had his way with me." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "This is the case that Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, referred to in His (swt) words: 'But whoever is compelled by necessity, neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him.' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:173). This woman neither sought it nor transgressed, so release her." Umar then said, "If not for Ali (as), Umar would have perished."

hadith 59

Hadith.5026 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Abu Abdullah (as) that he was asked about a man against whom evidence was established that he had committed adultery, but then he escaped. Imam (as) replied

"If he repents, then there is nothing upon him. However, if he is caught by the Imam before his repentance, the prescribed punishment (Hadd) will be carried out upon him. And if the Imam knows his whereabouts, he should send someone to bring him."

5026 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أُقِيمَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْبَيِّنَةُ أَنَّهُ زَنَى ثُمَّ هَرَبَ قَالَ

hadith 60

Hadith.5027 - In the narration of Safwan and Ibn Al-Mughira from someone who reported from Imam Abu Abdullah (as), he said

"If a muhsan (married) fornicator confesses, the first to stone him must be the Imam, followed by the people. But if evidence is established against him, then the first to stone him must be the witnesses, followed by the Imam, and then the people."

5027 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ صَفْوَانَ وَ ابْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ

hadith 61

Hadith.5028 - Narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Yazid Al-Kunasi, he said

I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a woman who married during her waiting period (iddah). Imam (as) said: "If she married during the waiting period after the death of her husband before the completion of four months and ten days, then she is not to be stoned, but she must be given one hundred lashes. However, if she married during the waiting period of a revocable divorce (where her husband could have taken her back), then she is subject to stoning. And if she married during the waiting period of an irrevocable divorce (where the husband had no right to return to her), then she is subjected to the punishment of an unmarried adulterer, which is lashes and not stoning. Moreover, if a Christian man commits fornication with a Muslim woman and, when apprehended for the execution of the punishment, he embraces Islam, the ruling for him is that he should be beaten until he dies. This is because Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'But when they saw Our punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah (swt) alone and disbelieve in what we used to associate with Him." But their faith was of no benefit to them when they saw Our punishment, which has been the way of Allah (swt) with His servants, and the disbelievers there and then were doomed to ruin.'" (Surah Ghafir 40:84-85)

However, if a young man commits adultery, he should be lashed one hundred times and exiled for one year from his city."

5032 - وَ رَوَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ يَعْنِي اِبْنَ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ

"إِذَا زَنَى اَلشَّيْخُ وَ اَلْعَجُوزُ جُلِدَا ثُمَّ رُجِمَا عُقُوبَةً لَهُمَا وَ إِذَا زَنَى اَلنَّصَفُ مِنَ اَلرِّجَالِ رُجِمَ وَ لَمْ يُجْلَدْ إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ أُحْصِنَ وَ إِذَا زَنَى اَلشَّابُّ اَلْحَدَثُ جُلِدَ مِائَةً وَ نُفِيَ سَنَةً مِنْ مِصْرِهِ".

hadith 66

Hadith.5033 - It is narrated from Abu Abdullah Al-Mu'min through Ishaq ibn Ammar who said

I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "Is adultery worse or drinking wine? And why is the punishment for drinking wine eighty lashes, while for adultery it is one hundred?" Imam (as) replied: "O' Ishaq, the punishment is the same, but it was increased in the case of adultery because it involves wasting the seed and placing it in a place other than where Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has commanded."

5033 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلزِّنَا شَرٌّ أَوْ شُرْبُ اَلْخَمْرِ وَ كَيْفَ صَارَ فِي اَلْخَمْرِ ثَمَانِينَ وَ فِي اَلزِّنَا مِائَةً فَقَالَ "يَا إِسْحَاقُ اَلْحَدُّ وَاحِدٌ وَ لَكِنْ زِيدَ هَذَا لِتَضْيِيعِهِ اَلنُّطْفَةَ وَ لِوَضْعِهِ إِيَّاهَا فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعِهَا اَلَّذِي أَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ".

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a Muslim man who committed adultery with the bondwoman of his brother. What is his repentance? Imam (as) replied: "He should go to him, inform him of what he has done, and ask him to pardon him, and he must not repeat the act." I asked: "What if his brother does not pardon him?" Imam (as) said: "Then he will meet Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, as an adulterer and a betrayer." I asked: "Will Hellfire be his destination?" Imam (as) replied: "The intercession of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and our intercession encompasses your sins, O' Shia community. But do not return to such acts and do not rely on our intercession, for by Allah (swt), no one will attain our intercession if he commits this sin until he experiences the pain of punishment and witnesses the terror of Hell."

5034 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي شِبْلٍ قَالَ

Imam (as) replied: "He is neither to be punished with lashes nor stoned." Imam (as) was also asked about a married woman who committed adultery and was pregnant. Imam (as) said: "She should be kept until she gives birth to what is in her womb and nurses her child, then she is to be stoned."
